call...
When he reached the peak of his power, Luo Chen took a small breath, then shouted loudly and threw the punch with all his might.
" Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!"
boom...
Pfft...
Whoosh... da!!
As the fist struck, the python's steel-hard inner walls burst open instantly, splattering blood and flesh everywhere. A red figure darted out from the mangled wound.
cough...
"Damn it..."
Even Jet, who had transformed into a giant python, was caught off guard by the sudden attack. He spat out a mouthful of pus and blood, immediately retracted his injured body, coiled up, and stared fiercely at Luo Chen with his huge, lantern-like snake eyes.
Facing the increasingly sinister gaze of the other party's snake-like face, which seemed to want to devour him alive, Luo Chen shrugged and chuckled as if he hadn't seen it.
"Hehehe, how was it? Even after you Awakening, this attack must have been quite painful for you, right? It hurt a lot, didn't it? Don't worry, I'll relieve you right away..."
call out...
The next second, he bent his thigh slightly and pushed off with force, disappearing from Jet's sight with a whoosh, only to reappear above him in an instant, gathering his strength to throw a punch down.
" Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!"
Swoosh...
The fist whistled through the air, its force tearing through the air layer above, crashing down as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting.
Swoosh...
In response, Jet's Observation Haki instantly and accurately captured Luo Chen's movement. His Snake Tail straightened, and black Haki instantly covered it, as the Snake Thrust upwards like a spear.
" Awakening. King Snake Spear!!"
Bang...
Buzzing...
The fist imprint and the Snake Thrust collided, unleashing a powerful burst of energy. Rings of energy rippled outwards, lifting the rubble and debris from the ground into the air, swirling around the two figures before scattering them with a deafening roar.
Bang...
Sizzle sizzle...
The next second, both of them were thrown back by the strong recoil. Luo Chen was sent flying into the air, tumbling several times before landing steadily on the ground, while Jet, who had transformed into a giant python, was thrown away by the recoil. His massive body scraped against the ground for a considerable distance before finally stopping.
"Um..."
"Um..."
The two stared at each other simultaneously, and then, almost in the same second, their bodies reacted in unison, rushing towards each other with a whoosh.
As he charged forward, Luo Chen flicked his right hand, and Haki enveloped him. In a short while, a dense, black aura of Haki wrapped around his wrist. He clenched his fist and swung it forward.
" Armament: Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!"
At the same time, the two fangs on Jet's enormous snake head instantly turned black, and it opened its mouth wide to lunge forward and bite.
" Awakening. King Snake Bite!!"
Thump...
Buzzing...
The two clashed once more, and a tremendous force swept across the area, creating a storm that carried mud and sand through the air.
"Oh, oh, oh... give me... a break!!"
Luo Chen continued to unleash his Haki in the air, the blackness on his fist growing increasingly intense, and his momentum constantly increasing. Gradually, Jet's attacks were suppressed bit by bit, until...
boom...
"Hmm... this is... Conqueror's Haki..."
Crack crack... Boom!!
Finally, Luo Chen's Haki surpassed Jet's, and with the continuous output of his Haki, his own aura gradually revealed an unparalleled Haki and supreme posture.
Then, a powerful Conqueror's Haki that had been aroused before erupted from his body. The powerful Conqueror's Haki that erupted caused Jet, who was fixed in the air, to be momentarily stunned. In an instant, Luo Chen seized the opportunity and attacked him in one fell swoop.
The snake's fangs snapped, its Haki instantly vanished, and the broken fragments crashed to the ground with a clang. This sound also signified the weakening of the opponent's attack, and the outcome of the battle gradually became clear.
boom...
A moment later, a massive black figure, large enough to block out the sunlight, plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground, sending dirt flying and dust billowing up. As the dust gradually dissipated, a crater came into view, inside which lay a giant snake with its abdomen pierced and its fangs broken.
Swoosh...
clatter!!
"This battle should end now. Speaking of which, I don't think I've asked your name yet. Tell me, lest you become an unjustly killed soul... Pirate!!"
Luo Chen, who had transformed into Shura, returned to the ground, approached the edge of the pit, and spoke to Jet was below and had reverted to human form due to his inability to maintain his original form.
"Heh heh heh heh... I never imagined that I, having recovered to my peak strength, would be given away to a junior like you. What a disgrace..."
But Jet, lying in the deep pit, seemed not to hear Luo Chen's words at all. He lay there with his limbs outstretched, spread-eagled, and burst into laughter when he thought of his predicament. He laughed until tears streamed down his face, as if mocking his own lack of strength and lamenting his fate of defeat.
"What? You feel so ashamed of losing to me that you won't even reveal your name? Fine, I was hoping to find out, so I could add a name to my long and brilliant life ahead. Since you're unwilling to say it, then I'll send you down here. Don't forget to tell Satan who killed you when you get to hell..."
Armament: Crimson Breath Dragon Fist!!
boom...
Having said that, he unleashed a fist imprint shrouded in black Haki, surrounded by flying crimson dragons.
boom!!
With a single strike, the force of the fist surged, Blood Breath billowed, and waves of air rolled continuously. The boulder collapsed, leaving only a flat area covered with rubble and the lonely soul of a defeated and dead man.
Tap... Tap... Tap...
After the battle ended, Luo Chen ignored what happened behind him and walked straight to the center of the Fortress, following Nayako's aura that he sensed with his Observation Haki.
"Was that my Conqueror's Haki just now? It was truly powerful. I never expected to possess such talent. It seems this trip has been quite fruitful!"
On his way there Luo Chen deactivated his ability and returned to human form. As he walked, he recalled the new domineering Haki that had unconsciously erupted just now— Conqueror's Haki —and looked at his palm with a sigh.
"However, it should have already Awakening there, during the battle between Totto Land and the Four Emperors, Big Mom!!"
But then he recalled his previous encounter with Big Mom and confirmed that he had Awakening powers. Today, in his fight with the former great pirate Devourer Jet, he truly felt the power and believed that with a few more training sessions, he would be able to master it perfectly. In addition, the Six Powers of Body Technique: Life Return, Awakening before, as well as his more powerful Armament Haki, made him feel that he had benefited greatly.
"Hehehe, BIGMOM, just wait. Once I've fully mastered these abilities, I'll challenge your position once more. And then..."
Thinking about it, he raised his head and looked outside, seemingly able to see BIGMOM far away in the Land of Totto Land, his fighting spirit surging and his hatred overflowing.
clatter...
"This must be it..."
After a while, Luo Chen finally arrived at the place where Nayako was imprisoned. Through his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense the restless and agitated aura of Nayako inside.
Bang...
Without thinking twice, Luo Chen threw a punch, blasting open the closed door and sending white smoke and dust obscuring the view inside.
Who is it?!
Hearing the sudden rumbling sound, Nayako, who was anxious inside, couldn't help but peek out. She saw the violently broken door embedded in the wall, with a layer of dust rising from the door, also obscuring her view. Nayako thought it was the group of pirates, so she mustered her courage and shouted loudly.
"It's me, Nayako, I've come to pick you up..."
As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a figure gradually became clearer inside. Then, a familiar voice entered her ears, making Nayako's mood gradually brighten. With a smile, she ran towards the door.
